It's Pronounced Nack-a-tish: Steve Riley and the Mamou Playboys with "Aux Natchitoches"

Happy Valentine's Day! From Cajun Louisiana comes today's random global song, a sad song about lovers, fittingly. Aux Natchitoches is performed by Steve Riley & the Mamou Playboys, a Cajun band from Southern Louisiana. Founded in 1988, the band takes its inspiration from Cajun traditional legends Dewey Balfa, Belton Richard and Walter Mouton. However, the music of Steve Riley & the Mamou Playboys has grown into a style that is distinctly Cajun but also very personal to them. They sing almost exclusively in Cajun French. They have been nominated twice for Grammys in the Best Traditional Folk Album category and have released 11 albums to date as well as one compilation album. Aux Natchitoches can be found on their Best of Steve Riley & the Mamou Playboys CD (2008).
